“…This sequence represents positions 345-553 of the Bufo sequences reported in this study. The sequence from Xenopus laevis is from Roe et al (1985) and the sequence from Rana catesbeiana is from Nagae (1988) show differences of eight to nine bases. Pairwise comparisons of DNA sequences among B. andrewsi populations show differences of up to 22 base substitutions.…”

“…No length variation is observed among bufonids and comparison to a pipid (Xenopus laevis, Roe et al, 1985) and a ranid (Rana catesbeiana, Nagae, 1988) shows only one length-variable position where tRNA genes encoded on opposite strands overlap. This result suggests extreme conservation of tRNA genes among anurans (Fig.…”

“…In amphibians, the complete mtDNA sequences have been obtained in only two species, the clawed frog Xenopus laevis (Roe et al, 1985) and the caecilian Typhlonectes natans (Zardoya and Meyer, 2000). Partial sequence data on gene arrangements have been published in several anuran species: Rana catesbeiana (Yoneyama, 1987;Fujii et al, 1988;Nagae, 1988); Rhacophorus taipeianus (Yang et al, 1994); Rana limnocharis (Macey et al, 1997); Rana pipiens (Feller and Hedges, 1998); Rana nigromaculata and Rana porosa (Sumida et al, 2000b); Rana boylii (Macey et al, 2001). Examination of partial sequences from these Rana species mtDNAs suggests that frog mtDNA has a similar gene content but different genomic organization, and that several gene rearrangements have occurred in anurans.…”

In this study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the Japanese pond frog Rana nigromaculata. The length of the sequence of the frog was 17,804 bp, though this was not absolute due to length variation caused by differing numbers of repetitive units in the control regions of individual frogs. The gene content, base composition, and codon usage of the Japanese pond frog conformed to those of typical vertebrate patterns. However, the comparison of gene organization between three amphibian species (Rana, Xenopus and caecilian) provided evidence that the gene arrangement of Rana differs by four tRNA gene positions from that of Xenopus or caecilian, a common gene arrangement in vertebrates. These gene rearrangements are presumed to have occurred by the tandem duplication of a gene region followed by multiple deletions of redundant genes. It is probable that the rearrangements start and end at tRNA genes involved in the initial production of a tandemly duplicated gene region. Putative secondary structures for the 22 tRNAs and the origin of the L-strand replication (OL) are described. Evolutionary relationships were estimated from the concatenated sequences of the 12 proteins encoded in the H-strand of mtDNA among 37 vertebrate species. A quartet-puzzling tree showed that three amphibian species form a monophyletic clade and that the caecilian is a sister group of the monophyletic Anura.
